Why Is There a Charge of $0.01 USD on My OBS Bill?

If your bill contains a record of $0.01 USD, there may be small-amount accumulation.

The minimum cost billed is $0.01 USD. If you spend less than $0.01 USD per hour, small-amount accumulation will be triggered. If the accumulative amount is still less than $0.01 USD at the end of the day, the amount accumulation continues the next day. There will not be any cost until the accumulative amount is greater than or equal to $0.01 USD.

Suppose you send 10 upload requests and 10 download requests from 08:00 to 09:00 the first day, which incurs less than $0.01 USD. At the end of the day and of the second day, the amount is still less than $0.01 USD. At 09:00 of the third day, the accumulative amount reaches $0.01 USD. The system then will deduct $0.01 USD from your account at about 10:00.

There is an SDR delay. Generally, pay-per-use usage can be billed by hour, day, or month. After bills are created, corresponding costs will be deducted from your account. If no records can be found, the billing period might not have ended.
